Fraker-Wells House
W.P. Fraker built this house here on his 40-acre farm in 1911. He purchased First State Bank on Main Street in 1903. He specialized in registered Shorthorn Cattle and supported Vocational Agriculture and high school FFA. His nephew and wife, Fred and Helen Wells, acquired the farm in 1942 and subdivided the land in 1961.
